Jocelyn Enriquez
Used to think true happiness
Had pased me by
Tried to ignore the lonliness
Kept me up through the night
Until the day I saw your face
That heaven saved the best for last
And sent you to me, yeah, yeah
I thank the stars above for guiding you home
And now I'm never letting you go
No way, no how
Will I ever change my mind and say goodbye
I know I've finally found what I've been waiting for
Right here, right now
Beyond the shadow of a doubt
I know that you're the one
And I'll never leave your side, no way, no how
I've made mistakes in love before
And I have paid with my tears
Tossed in the sea of emptiness
Seemed the storm would not clear
And then you came and rescued me
And you jumped right in
You made me safe with your tenderness
And warm with your kiss
So then you grabbed my hand and pulled me to shore
I could never ask you for more
No way, no how
Will I ever change my mind and say goodbye
I know I've finally found what I've been waiting for
Right here, right now
Beyond the shadow of a doubt
I know that you're the one
And I'll never leave your side, no way, no how
You brought back the meaning to my life
Turned darkness into light
My soul was feeling lost but now I'm found
I believe in miracles again
That true love won't end
So listen to these words that I vow, I vow, I vow
No way, no how
Will I ever change my mind and say goodbye
I know I've finally found what I've been waiting for
Right here, right now
Beyond the shadow of a doubt
I know that you're the one
And I'll never leave your side, no way, no how
